Remora - Rpi Software Stepping Using External Microcontroller via SPI

Porting to the STM32 would be great but would need some work. The heart of Remora is the DMA communication and threads, both of which are tightly linked to the LPC1768 at the moment. Not impossible to port but time consuming.

Was not aware of the fake LPC parts getting around. I just picked up another controller board quite quickly from China. How to tell a fake chip?

But it works ok.

Hi Aaroncnc, it was great to work with you on the updated encoder support and great to hear the you got rigid tapping operational!

I still need to investigate the hardware QEI module so you can do high speed counting. Now that the TMC2209 is available in the testing branch I can look at this .

I can't decide if you are saying it is a good idea or a bad idea.

Hi Andy,

I think it's a great idea!

The downside is on my side. I won't be able to play with the code as freely.

hmm, i watched the video and thought there had to be an ethernet conneection to a W5500 to the LPC, but nooooo , the diagram removes that connection, only relying on rpi->spi->lpc
cool!
I'm waiting on 2 SKR v1.3 to arrive.
Thanks Bari
Thanks scotta

I have 20 or so of the Haoyu LPC1768-mini-DK2 boards... would these work? Happy to send one to fig the Hal pinout etc
